Ive always been a bit amazed at the fact that most guys seem to stick with a single or at best a very few limited parts sources, now obviously if they can supply anything you need at a decent price and supply it quickly and its good quality theres not much reason to shop around further, but I see guys all the time that ask me where I can get a certain tool, or performance part, who have not a clue where I got some of the components I use, and the fact that a good many of the older speed shops have gone out of business does not help either , so Id suggest that sometimes looking at the circle track suppliers, and the dirt track and kit car and hot rod shops helps, as does sending away for parts catalogs.
now you may have zero intention of using 90% of what many catalogs list, but you might be amazed at what the differences in the smaller components , and tools available are if you look closely.
and it certainly can,t hurt to look over options you might have never considered.
yes the larger suppliers like JEGS, and SUMMIT and ROCK AUTO have a large inventory, but at times you'll find a part you need is only available from a few or a single rather obscure source, or a firm that specializes in that particular type of component or in some cases you'll need a firm that custom fabricates parts
A VERY SMALL SELECTION OF WHAT OUT THERE, AND DON,T FORGET THE TRACTOR PULL AND MARINE SUPPLY GUYS
